I have the following code in "ThisWorkbook" module.

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Dim ContextMenu As CommandBar
    Dim ctrl As CommandBarControl
'Delete the control first to avoid duplicates
    Set ContextMenu = Application.CommandBars("Cell")

'Delete custom controls with the Tag : My_Cell_Control_Tag
    For Each ctrl In ContextMenu.Controls
        If ctrl.Tag = "My_Cell_Control_Tag" Then
            ctrl.Delete
        End If
    Next ctrl

'Set ContextMenu to the Cell menu
    Set ContextMenu = Application.CommandBars("Cell")

'Add one custom button to the Cell menu
    With ContextMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, before:=1)
        .OnAction = "'" & ThisWorkbook.Name & "'!CreateDisplayPopUpMenu"
        .FaceId = 59
        .Caption = "Create Reports"
        .Tag = "My_Cell_Control_Tag"
    End With
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim ContextMenu As CommandBar
    Dim ctrl As CommandBarControl

    'Set ContextMenu to the Cell menu
    Set ContextMenu = Application.CommandBars("Cell")

    'Delete custom controls with the Tag : My_Cell_Control_Tag
    For Each ctrl In ContextMenu.Controls
        If ctrl.Tag = "My_Cell_Control_Tag" Then
            ctrl.Delete
        End If
    Next ctrl
    
    On Error Resume Next
        Application.CommandBars(Mname).Delete
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
I get the "Delete' of object '-CommandBarButton' failed" error when I utilize Windows(ThisWorkbook.Name).Close from Module1...but not if I manually close the file.

What am I missing? :confused:
